...equally lamentable. Using language that “demands” representation as a “right” in the form of a policy paper (which have historically been almost uniformly ignored by the administration) will not advance their cause. Instead, if it cannot find a willing ear within University Hall, the UC should build support for reform among sympathetic and influential faculty members and students until the administration cannot afford not to listen.It is a sad irony that we are taught, throughout our time at the College, that disagreements can be worked out through reasoned, passionate debate...
...album’s seventh track, is something of a new direction for the band with much heavier bass licks and drum parts. While not exactly their standard fanfare, the song’s a welcome change after six tracks of ear-piercing electric guitar squealing. The following song, “We’re Not Alone,” goes in a softer direction, blending acoustic guitar along with the electric and shifting into a simple, upbeat rhythm about two minutes in. This track nicely harmonizes the different elements of Dinosaur Jr.’s career, incorporating...
...Nussbaum, a professor of law and ethics at the University of Chicago Law School, recounts a “happy story” about an Asian elephant at the Bronx zoo (named “Happy”) that liked to look in the mirror. When researchers marked her ear with chalk, Happy saw her changed reflection and became distressed.

For an exercise in semantics, the resulting CD, Acronym Wars, is ear-splittingly entertaining. And as presented at Darren Knight Gallery alongside military-style musical memorabilia, it's an intriguing cultural artifact. Elsewhere in the show, machine-gun-shaped guitars carved from mahogany stand sentinel alongside bespoke batik military fatigues, which Kesminas says are key "because in a way the project is all about camouflage." All sorts of things...
...drinking," says Okamura, who still has the posture of the middle school principal he once was. "Shochu, whatever. If it's alcoholic, I'll drink it." It appears to be working: At 90, the bantam-sized Okamura is still fit for his age and trim everywhere but in the ear lobes. While the other residents in the Yairo-en Special Nursing Home's gleaming rec room watch high-school baseball on TV, Okamura passes the time playing piano, pausing only to pose for a photo. "I look good," he says. "I feel good. It's great here...
